From the Perl6-Bible: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Perl6-Bible/lib/ Perl6/Bible/S03.pod:

I think this confirms that the answer is yes. See the following at the above URL:
Note that ?^ is functionally identical to !.?| differs from || in that ?| always returns a standard boolean value (either 1 or 0), whereas || returns the actual
value of the first of its arguments that is true.

Since when is the string "!.?|" an operator??? Or "?^", "+|", "~|", "?|", etc. I think Larry's gone off the deep end on this one. It may be an incredibly powerful and expressive language, but it seems _really_ strange, and probably will produce the best Obfuscated-code contest the world has ever seen. (Better even than the
Perl5 one).

Cheers,
Kyle Moffett
